Philips Cinema
Éste es un buen ejemplo de cómo explicar la experiencia de un producto a través de Internet. Para el lanzamiento de la primera TV con formato de cine: 2.39:1, Philips creó un muy buen micrositio que utiliza una película en stop-motion llamada “Carousel”, producida por Adam Berg y Stink Digital. Lo interesante de este desarrollo es que permite al usuario tener una “experiencia de producto“. A través de una simulación en línea el usuario puede diferenciar entre el formato 16:9 y el nuevo, 21:9. Además, también permite apreciar el efecto Ambilight, que consiste en extender la experiencia visual más allá de la pantalla a través de un sistema de iluminación lateral. El manejo del video es realmente bueno y permite hacer pausa a la reproducción de Carousel para ver comentarios de directores y especialistas acerca de una verdadera experiencia cinematrográfica. También puedes ver el video por separado en Youtube. Via Seguir leyendo
